Topological solitons in the supersymmetric Skyrme model
A bstractA supersymmetric extension of the Skyrme model was obtained recently, which consists of only the Skyrme term in the Nambu-Goldstone (pion) sector complemented by the same number of…
Compact shell solitons in K field theories
Some models providing shell-shaped static solutions with compact support (compactons) in 3+1 and 4+1 dimensions are introduced, and the corresponding exact solutions are calculated analytically.…
A higher-order Skyrme model
A bstractWe propose a higher-order Skyrme model with derivative terms of eighth, tenth and twelfth order. Our construction yields simple and easy-to-interpret higher-order Lagrangians. We first show…
Bogomolny equations for the BPS Skyrme models with impurity
We show that the BPS Skyrme model, as well as its (2+1) dimensional baby version (restricted), can be coupled with an impurity in the BPS preserving manner. The corresponding Bogomolny equations are…
Volume of a vortex and the Bradlow bound
We demonstrate that the geometric volume of a soliton coincides with the thermodynamical volume also for field theories with higher-dimensional vacuum manifolds (e.g., for gauged scalar field…
Skyrme–Faddeev Instantons on Complex Surfaces
We find stable solutions from various complex surfaces for the σ2-energy functional. They can be interpreted as instantons for the strong coupling limit of the Skyrme–Faddeev sigma model.
Spherical Twists as the σ2-Harmonic Maps from n-Dimensional Annuli into Sn−1$\mathbb {S}^{n-1}$
AbstractLet X⊂ℝn$\mathbb {X} \subset \mathbb {R}^{n}$ be a bounded Lipschitz domain and consider the σ2-energy functional Fσ2[u;X]:=∫X∧2∇u2dx,$${\mathbb{F}_{\sigma_{2}}}[u; \mathbb{X}] :=…
$$\sigma _2$$σ2-Diffeomorphisms between 4-dimensional annuli
In this paper we study $$\sigma _2$$σ2-diffeomorphisms between 4-dimensional annuli, find a Nitsche type phenomenon for $$\sigma _2$$σ2-diffeomorphisms in 4-dimensional annuli and propose the…

Geometry of Skyrmions
A Skyrmion may be regarded as a topologically non-trivial map from one Riemannian manifold to another, minimizing a particular energy functional. We discuss the geometrical interpretation of this…
Multi-Skyrmion solutions for the sixth order Skyrme model
In this Thesis, we study some of the classical properties of an extension of the Skyrme model defined by adding a sixth order derivative term to the Lagrangian. In chapter 1, we review the physical…
Topological Analysis of a Nonlinear Field Theory
This paper is concerned with a class of nonlinear field theories that exhibit conserved particlelike structures. An example of such a theory is quoted. Fields belonging to this theory are classical…

Comments on Nonlinear Wave Equations as Models for Elementary Particles
It is shown that for a wide class of nonlinear wave equations there exist no stable time‐independent solutions of finite energy. The possibility is considered whether elementary particles might be…
Algebraic Topology
The focus of this paper is a proof of the Nielsen-Schreier Theorem, stating that every subgroup of a free group is free, using tools from algebraic topology.
